Re: [Fedora-music-list] Good hardware specs for a "Fedora Music" box?

I would like to be able to record stuff from guitar, midi-keyboard, microphone, DJ setup (via line input I suppose), and then edit the results with the appropriate applications. Not all at once, but maybe 1-3 inputs at a time. The ability to play in real-time through the computer's output would be very important I think as I reckon it's much harder to work any other way. That's all I can think of right now. I currently have an SB Live with the LiveDrive thing, which has all the inputs I need, but I am thinking in terms of general system horsepower (RAM/CPU/disk etc). Finding a supported sound card it's really a problem, I'll just go with M-Audio for that. But I would like to know if I need to get one to do what I want. K. -- Kev Green, aka Kyrian.

To fully test you'll need a guitar and pickup plugged into your soundcard, but even a go/nogo on whether it starts would be helpful. Where I developed the package, it works OK, but another older AMD machine, it fails during startup. This will help me to decide whether to push it to the F8,F9 updates repos. DaveT.

whysynth doesn't work
by Florin Andrei 06 Jan '26

06 Jan '26

I got whysynth-dssi-20060122-7.src.rpm from here: http://people.redhat.com/green/FE/devel/ I rebuilt it on FC6 without problems. The thing is, the GUI doesn't show up. The program appears to be working, I see the outputs being automatically routed in qjackctl, but there's no GUI anywhere! ############################################### $ jack-dssi-host whysynth.so jack-dssi-host: Warning: DSSI path not set jack-dssi-host: Defaulting to "/usr/local/lib/dssi:/usr/lib/dssi:/home/florin/.dssi" jack-dssi-host: OSC URL is: osc.udp://rivendell.home.local:15040/dssi/whysynth/WhySynth/chan00 host: Ready WhySynth_gtk starting (pid 4305)... ############################################### -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Low Latency vs. Real Time Kernel
by Brian Monroe 10 Nov '14

10 Nov '14

I've been spending a lot of time on the #opensourcemusicians channel talking to Ubuntu Studio users about their kernel and latency times they're getting. Seems like most of them are using g a stock kernel with the preemptive option enabled and they are getting great latency results (2ms)while utilizing the @audio group on their user. I ended up compiling my own low latency kernel and I haven't had any issues with it yet. If this is what we are missing for the spin I'd be happy to maintain packaging for the kernel. I know ccrma has been behind a few kernel releases. I saw the instructions for adding the real time patch for a tick less kernel and from what I can tell it wouldn't be hard to get that rolling as well. I'm not entirely sure what ccrma does differently with their kernels compared to other Linux users, and I'm still a bit of a noob so I could be off base with this, but I would reason that we should be able to just utilize the same settings to archive similar performance enhancements. I thought I read that ccrma uses a unique scheduler, but if we could get a 2ms latency time without it, the point may be moot.

Jam represented well at SCaLE.
by Brian Monroe 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

Hey guys, I was at the Southern California Linux Expo (SCaLE) this weekend to work the Fedora booth. Just wanted to let you all know that I brought a laptop with the spin installed on it, set it up with a Fast Track Pro, mic, keyboard, keyboard stand, and a guitar. I was running Ardour, Hydrogen, Guitarix, and Qsynth, I had done a cover song in Ardour/Hydrogen, and was ready to help people start adding to it/messing with it. Surprising to me, not that many people really cared about the recording but a TON of people were shocked by the guitar/effects and wanted to play. At times it drew a fairly large crowd and started a ton of conversations that we wouldn't have had at the booth without it. We actually won the "Most Interesting Booth" award from SCaLE. Some interesting things I took away from conversations with people who stopped by: 1) Several Asked if there was a group install (so like +5 on that idea) 2) Many of these people weren't real linux users and asked if there were specific instructions on how to set it up. Two of these asked if there was a youtube video showing how to do it, which I think is a great idea, and I'll do if no one else wants to pick it up. 3) Two people asked if there was any music that was recorded with Jam, I didn't know of any, and I can't think of anyone who has. Anyone have any input on this? 5) Several people were asking for Ableton-like programs and I didn't know of any that were on the spin. 4) What do you guys think about a Fedora Activity Day where we can maybe do a joint effort for a group recording project? Not quite sure how that would look, but I think it's doable. There are a few other easy fixes for us to change on the spin, but I'll address those later. Great job guys! I wish I had remembered to take pictures of the rig, but I didn't. I'll look for a few and see if I can get one.

This is a longshot I know . .
by Philip Rhoades 01 Mar '14

01 Mar '14

People, Just reading the posts and I thought maybe it was worth a shot - I have had to use this Windows software recently (under Wine): http://www.myriad-online.com/en/products/pdftomusicpro.htm and while it does what I want . . I HATE using Windows in Wine or VMs etc - anybody got any ideas about what would be involved in producing a Linux equivalent? (even if it just extracted the music - in abc or preferably Lilypond format - and left all the text etc).

Re: [Fedora-music-list] [Jsynthlib-devel] release 1.0 promotion (fwd)
by Martin Tarenskeen 01 Mar '14

01 Mar '14

Hi Musicians, JSynthLib has for a long time been an interesting, promising, but unfortunately sleeping project. But development has been re-activated resulting in a new official release version 1.0 http://sourceforge.net/projects/jsynthlib/ I hope I'm not misusing this mailinglist. Just thought it could be interesting for some of you. At least for me it's interesing news! MT ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 1 Mar 2014 08:21:10 +0100 From: Packe <packe01(a)yahoo.se> To: Frankie Fisher <jsynthlib.org(a)terrorise.me.uk> Cc: JSynthLib-devel mailing list <jsynthlib-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> Subject: Re: [Jsynthlib-devel] release 1.0 promotion Hi Frankie, Great idea! I thought I should have sent out an email on the users' list but I forgot... I can do that tonight. Besides that, as I haven't been involved with the project earlier, I have no idea where to publish news except on the sourceforge site. Any help/suggestions are highly appreciated. My next step now for the development is to restructure the code in an MVC architecture and then continue the work of XML drivers to make it easier for others to contribute their drivers.

Video converter from Official fedora repositories
by Hammad Haleem 28 Feb '14

28 Feb '14

I need to develop a rest API for publish and convert the videos A major what I am facing, I need a free converter for convert any format video in OGV. Even though ffmpeg is the best candidate, but we I cannot use it because not is in official Fedora repository, just is in rpmfusion. I am developing a product that would be deployed on Fedora infra, they only deploy applications via packages into epel6. Can you guys suggest something from official fedora repository ? -- Regards Hammad Haleem
